Kitchen of the Jongga

A kitchen utilized by our ancestors for generations is indeed a living museum keeping cracked or chipped porcelain bowls, slightly smashed nickel silver pots, brass vessels, a fire poker, etc. The kitchen of the jongga is not an exception. At present the fire in the fireplace has been gone out and smoke does not rise any more from the chimney, but those kitchen utensils are keeping their positions as before. Devoted efforts of the descendants allowed them to be well preserved although some of them are flawed and look humble.

The pantry cabinet used to be located side by side with a grain box on the kitchen floor, and was one of household necessaries that the eldest grandson and his wife ever used. From top to bottom, this cabinet was good for keeping not only vessels but also various condiments. Its structure and decorations are exquisite and solid.
